avatar007 says:

Quantum computers (QCs) use quantum mechanics (QM), the rules that underlie the behavior of all matter and energy, to accelerate computation. It has been known for some time that once some simple features of QM are harnessed, machines will be built capable of outperforming any conceivable conventional supercomputer. QCs are not just faster than conventional computers. They change what computer scientists call the computational scaling of many problems.

<P class="MsoNormal">D-Wave is pioneering the development of a new class of high-performance computing system designed to solve complex search and optimization problems, with an initial emphasis on synthetic intelligence and machine learning applications. </p> <P class="MsoNormal">D-Wave systems are architected around an innovative processor that uses a computational model known as adiabatic quantum computing (AQC). These processors exploit quantum effects to solve search and optimization problems in a new way. They are fabricated using superconducting metals instead of semiconductors and are operated at ultra-low temperatures in a magnetic vacuum.</p> <P class="MsoNormal">
